Light incident side 212 in the optical element 200 is in the face of light source 120, and it is a side of the light source 120 light institute incident of sending, and light exit side 214 is in the face of upper membrane, and it is a side that the light that light source 120 sends is shone described upper membrane.
Because optical element 200 is as light guide plate, the light that conduction light source 120 sends to be to be diffused into the front side, and therefore, it is formed by film or thin slice that can transmitted light.For example, described optical element can be formed by acryl resin (for example, polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)), celluosic resin (for example, triacetyl cellulose) and vibrin (for example, polyethylene terephthalate), but is not limited thereto.In addition, optical element 200 can use binder resin to form viscosity portion 230 effectively.For example, optical element 200 can be formed by acryl resin, urethane resin, vinyl or silicones, but is not limited thereto.
Figure portion 220 is formed in the zone corresponding with light source 120.The reason of the described figure of formation portion is in the presumptive area corresponding with light source, blocks light that light source sends, the positive top conduction of process light source, and also can effectively the peripheral region be arrived in light diffusion.
More particularly, figure portion 220 is formed on presumptive area, and this presumptive area is based on the zone corresponding with the light source 120 of the light incident side 214 of described optical element.The size of described figure portion can be determined according to described configured light sources or size.Specifically, figure portion 220 can form based on light source 120 has cartouche (namely, its major axis can arrive about 60mm for about 6mm, and its minor axis can arrive about 45mm for about 5mm), more preferably, can form a kind of cartouche (that is, its major axis can arrive about 30mm for about 10mm, and its minor axis can arrive about 20mm for about 7mm).Yet if use distance between a plurality of light emitting diodes (LED) and these LED less than above-mentioned size, the diffusion figure portion corresponding with each LED can be overlapping, and describedly form greatlyyer than top.
In addition, figure portion 220 can form by ink jet printing method.Because ink ejecting method can be used for forming figure in the noncontact mode, therefore, be conducive to form figure at the viscosity light exit side of described optical element.
In addition, the printing ink that is used to form figure portion 220 can be non-sticky printing ink.This be because, figure portion 220 does not have viscosity, other zone outside the described figure portion zone then has viscosity.
In addition, the ink thickness of figure portion 220 can change according to the quantity of the pigment composition in the printing ink, when using ink-jet to print, forms about 0.2 μ m usually to the high figure of about 15 μ m.In addition, when using ink-jet to print, by the pigment content in the printing ink is adjusted within the above-mentioned scope, can control the light diffusion degree of hope.
In addition, figure portion 220 has be used to the figure that stops with diffused light, and utilizes this figure to regulate the light intensity that passes optical element 200.In detail, figure portion 220 can comprise at least one in reflective graphics and the diffusion figure, and wherein, reflective graphics is used for light that reflection source sends reducing the transit dose of light, and the light diffusion that the diffusion figure is used for light source is sent is to the peripheral region.Here, described reflective graphics can be formed by a kind of printing ink, and this printing ink comprises at least one that select from the group that Al, Cr, Ag, Hg, Pt and Mo constitute.Here, Al, Cr, Ag, Hg, Pt and Mo can be used for reflected light.In addition, described diffusion figure can be formed by a kind of printing ink, and this printing ink comprises at least one that select from the group that titania, teflon, polystyrene and silica constitute.Here, titania, teflon, polystyrene and silica can be used for diffused light.
Fig. 3 is synoptic diagram, shows the figure in the described figure portion 220 that is formed on optical element 200 of one embodiment of the present of invention.In more detail, Fig. 3 shows a kind of figure that had not only comprised reflective graphics but also comprised the diffusion figure.
Referring to Fig. 3, when in figure portion 220, not only having formed reflective graphics but also having formed the diffusion figure, form the diffusion figure in the whole zone of figure portion 220, and middle part A forms reflective graphics on the described diffusion figure, thereby form described figure portion.
Viscosity portion 230 is formed in the zone outside figure portion 220 zones.This be because, has the zone of figure portion 220 (namely, partly corresponding with described light source) and be layered between the film on the described optical element and have air layer, and have only the zone outside the described figure portion zone to have viscosity, make described optical element and the film that is laminated thereon to be in contact with one another and do not have air layer (referring to Fig. 5).
In other words, between optical element 200 and the blooming on it 400 below have the zone of light to form air layer with diffused light, thereby reduce light intensity.In addition, optical element 200 and the blooming 400 on it below unglazed zone be in contact with one another and do not have air layer therebetween so that Zhe She light reduces to minimum at the interface, thereby make minimum optical losses.So brightness uniformity just can be improved.
Light source 120 can be normally used any light source in the back light unit.For example, described light source can comprise LED, cold-cathode fluorescence lamp (CCFL) and external-electrode fluorescent lamp (EEFL).In addition, light source 120 is arranged on the below of optical element 200, as shown in Figure 2, but is not limited thereto.For example, light source 120 can be built in the optical element 200.

When blooming 400 is layered on the optical element 200, as shown in Figure 5, between figure 220 and stacked blooming 400 on it, form air layer 300, and between viscosity portion 230 and stacked blooming 400 on it, do not form air layer, thereby viscosity portion 230 is adhered on the blooming 400, does not have air layer.Because figure portion 220 is non-stickies, therefore, figure portion 220 and stacked blooming 400 on it are not bonded to each other, and for this cause, form air layer 300 between it.In addition, because viscosity portion 230 is viscosity, therefore, viscosity portion 230 and stacked blooming 400 on it contact and do not have air layer 300.
In addition, as shown in Figure 5,300 of air layers are formed in the zone corresponding with light source 130.This is because the 220(of figure portion namely has the zone of air layer 300) be formed in the zone corresponding with light source 130.
In other words, when blooming 400 is layered on the optical element 200, in the optical element 200 below have in the zone of light source 120, between blooming 400 and optical element 200, be formed with air layer, and below do not have in the zone of light source 120, blooming 400 contacts with optical element 200, does not have air layer.Here, blooming 400 can be light-diffusing film.
According to said structure, light reflecting at the interface between air layer and blooming 400, thus reduce light quantity from 220 transmissions of figure portion, and in figure portion 220, because below light source 120 is, a large amount of light is arranged in transmission.Since below do not have do not have air layer in the zone 230 of light source 120, therefore, light is not reflecting at the interface, thereby makes the loss minimum of transmitted light, so transmitted light is evenly distributed on the whole plane.
Fig. 6 is synoptic diagram, shows the described optical film of an alternative embodiment of the invention and is stacked in structure on the optical element.
Referring to Fig. 6, because the figure portion 220 of optical element 200 comprises separator 240, therefore, because of separator 240 events, last blooming 400 can be layered in the figure portion 220 and the air layer 300 of predetermined area is arranged.In addition, by the Height Adjustable optical element 200 of control separator 240 and the interval between the last blooming 400, therefore, can select only structure, so that the light that sends of diffused light source 120 effectively in the zone corresponding with light source 120, and on whole plane, provide brightness equably.
The described optical element of embodiments of the invention can apply to direct-type backlight unit, but also can apply to the side type back light unit.In the side type back light unit, described optical element applies to the interface between light source and the optical element, to increase brightness uniformity.
The manufacture method of the described optical element of one embodiment of the present of invention comprises following operation: (a) light exit side at optical element forms viscosity portion; And (b) in the presumptive area of the described light exit side of described optical element, form figure portion.
Here, the figure portion in (b) is the zone corresponding with light source.This be for utilize optical figuring in the presumptive area corresponding with light source to stop effectively and light that diffused light source sends to the peripheral region.
In addition, the figure portion in (b) can be non-sticky.This is for by stacked upper membrane in described non-sticky figure portion and only form air layer in the zone corresponding with light source between it, and the light that sends of diffused light source is to the peripheral region effectively.
